Photos and description

Hi all

As mentioned previously, I have discontinued my breeding of this species to make space for other ones...

I have a breeding trio for sale - one male and two females, fully grown. An easy to maintain fish and easy to breed as raise fry as well.

I also have many juveniles for sale at R20 each. ​

 

I would like some - don't mind juvies as long as I end up with some males. My females are very lonely by now! When can I come by?

 

@PsyXe I promised you some free ones, you are welcome to come and get the juveniles for free if you want, I am at home by 14:00 most afternoons.

Pm me for date and time

 

Do you have any other types for sale?

 

@PsyXe still want some???

 

@ Ebi Omer

Yes I do. Aphyosemion Australe Orange (Photo is oldish. He is a stunner now - the dady)


And some male Nothobranchius Patrizii


Not my photo of the Patrizii , mine are not fully coloured up yet but will be in about two weeks...

 

How much for these. Male/female available?

 

@Ebi Omer They are still smallish but have already sexed out. Going rate is R150 - R300 per TRIO, one male two females. This is the best combination to keep them in. I ask R150 per trio for these... The nice thing about getting sub-adults is that you watch them grow and colour up...

 

@francoisve I have some Epiplatys Dageti Monroviae that has grown well.
The babies you gave me is not babies anymore.

 

Can these fish be kept in a community tank?
They are very pretty fish and I would love some.

 

haha @OBI depends what community, I tried for a week before finding a compatibility chart they are not compatible with your guppies, mollies or fin-ish fish etc, corys, catfish and plecos should be fine.

I would suggest finding a chart, but they are beautiful and quite energetic kept in a large tank, I have 8x 1cm small fry now that just appeared 2 weeks after I took the kilifish out.

Lovely fish!

 

@Krefie could you post the chart?

 

There are so many!

HTH

 

@Slojo That's good news post some pics...

 

ok so I take it back, dunno why I had Mollies as non compatible, just had it in my head, they did give my guppies a go!

So High Compatibility seem to be Catfish, Danio, Molly, Plecs, Rainbow fish, and Swordtails.

Sorry @francoisve, didn't mean to hijack your post!

 

@OBI certainly they can. The chart @Krefie posted names Killifish - but there are 1300 species and obviously they do not all have the same temperament so what applies to some would not to the other... The golden rule is to have only one male to at least two females or more females, or lots of males only. The other golden rule that I am sure apples to most fish is not to have them establish territories, ie have some other fish, bottom dwellers, mid range and top dwellers as well as hiding spaces like rocks and plants... I have the three Epiplatys Dageti Monroviae that @Krefie gave back in my community tank at work and not a single problem... Which ones are you interested in?

 

Ok that sounds good thanks

Ive got no idea in which im interested as they all so pretty im more concerned to which ones will work best in my community tank. Any suggestions?

Sent from my GT-N8000

 

The Epiplatys Dageti Monroviae do great in my community tank. Top dwellers and peaceful. Aphyosemion Australe Orange a bit more lively but wonderful characterful fish...

 

Do you have for sale say a trio? And if you do how much?

 

@OBI you can have a trio of Aphyosemions for R150 for 3 and EDM R100 for 5...
